The signal crayfish is vulnerable to both the As and the PsI-isolates of the crayfish plague
The carrier status and possible elevated tolerance of the signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) against the crayfish plague disease agent (Aphanomyces astaci) has been speculated for several decades.

Impacts of signal crayfish on stream fishes [PDF]
Invasive species cause biodiversity and economic loss globally. Invasive crayfish have a wide range of effects as a result of their high densities and biomass, feeding at multiple trophic levels, aggressive competition for shelter and ecosystem ...

Consequences for lotic ecosystems of invasion by signal crayfish [PDF]
PhDNon-native invasive species are major drivers of biodiversity loss and ecosystemlevel modification. The signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) is a highly successful invasive species and demonstrates traits often seen in keystone species ...

Crayfish plague affects juvenile survival and adult behaviour of invasive signal crayfish. [PDF]
The spread of invasive, non-native species is a key threat to biodiversity. Parasites can play a significant role by influencing their invasive host’s survival or behaviour, which can subsequently alter invasion dynamics.

River bank burrowing is innate in native and invasive signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) and is driven by biotic and abiotic cues [PDF]
The behavior of animals can change when they become invasive. Whilst many species demonstrate exaggerations of existing behaviors, signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) display a novel burrowing activity in some invaded rivers.

The long-term dynamics of invasive signal crayfish forcing of fluvial sediment supply via riverbank burrowing [PDF]
Animals are important drivers of sediment dynamics. Invasive signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) have been shown to supply sediment to rivers by burrowing into riverbanks. Burrowing directly transfers excavated sediment into the river and also has

Multiple drivers of decline in the global status of freshwater crayfish (Decapoda: Astacidea) [PDF]
Rates of biodiversity loss are higher in freshwater ecosystems than in most terrestrial or marine ecosystems, making freshwater conservation a priority.

Evaluating techniques for sampling stream crayfish (paranephrops planifrons) [PDF]
We evaluated several capture and analysis techniques for estimating abundance and size structure of freshwater crayfish (Paranephrops planifrons) (koura) from a forested North Island, New Zealand stream to provide a methodological basis for future ...
